Mystic Fire: (Our Bodies as Brains)


…atomic exposure, furious flames, or dreams disguised in gravity: those feral creatures, this midday touch, as souls think in unison: our graves rejecting silence; our screams quite inaudible; or panic inverted singing its justice: alive and living, peering at something incredible, and weary this intimate nature: those alarming eyes, that inadequate, languishing speech, or temperaments indicative of foreign cultures: therewith, our deep anger, as soon converted energy, to die while breathing sin.     I feel phlegmatic, as dining with realities, where a slight fever enters our corridors: this slim dynasty, or this vivacious enterprise, to have such feelings destroyed by romance: this semi-human, this divine creature, to search brain-vestibules: where love is passion, or rabid absence, if cut for wrecked sipping ginger: those remote islands, this terrible confession, or this silent maniac: to thrust for survival, to have many suitors, while at Love for exhausted: thither, a nightmare, fraught by anticipation, while desperate for an overhaul.    

…we met fire, we climbed ladders, we made with Philistines—those inner realities, this hard-pressed presence, or this inability to breathe: at titillating thoughts, looking into heirs, as realized this prestigious deception: that robust fragrance, that woman made by Songs of Songs, this light and rich skin pressure: those lucky hairs, that adored chin, those fortunate panties….

…by jackal essence, or zebra calmness, while listening to rhino anger: this spirit of spirits, or souls made by souls, to die a mere encounter: this sweaty scalp, this wilderness beard, or personalities seeping into dungeons: if but by fate, to have as electrified, to unveil and become permanent: that deep enclosure, this ocean of feelings, or alert deepness forfeiting feeble thoughts: thereupon, this raiding adventure, this prominent vexation, or minds arrested by fantastical lusts: as looking for tormented, or awaiting this flight, while conquered for ruined through images….

…go ahead, steer imperfection, looking for passionate sprouts: this drug-emotion, this fretted reality, this woman as never again: this spell of energy, this warlock charm, or years to making a remote sky: this medieval mystic, that late dynasty mystic, or this European mystic: as African shamans, or German prosaic(s), while something vernacular runs a miracle: this flitted missile, this monster dictionary, this ant eating destiny: to gut with demons, to love with animals, to have and die attempting to rethread her intestines: that slight shiver, that song of silence, this deep repentance: as fluttering anguish, to want by desperation, while offended this short branch: our wandering wails, our smitten ghosts, those holy grail mystics….

I ached psalteries; I flung a flute; I was unrealized dying convictions: this inner tune, this drumbeat existence, this meerkat human: those papyrus eyes, that old country, this echo into his future: those nomadic palms, those anklets and calves, or those tender bruises: at thoughts giggling, at minds needing, while Love decorated a pendant: or combing through ambitions, if but that one chance, at seven seas for Love!     …that unpaved heart, this exiled desert, to have such for lovers: those bold cries, this inner heart, this electric feeling: to know recourse, or to shadow remorse, sitting at this tree of Amore: that pagan mind, this Hebrew dynasty, this Israelite damsel: or keepsake heinous, or locket breath-beats, where sound becomes mystic: at lavish cries, that picture of blues, or that oracle mistress….        

Empty Space

    I’ve been in this space before—it seems natural, the affection of energies. Such interwoven moods, a series of underpinnings. A differen...
